Art That Unites: A Dialogue between the Centuries from the Vatican Museums and Thrivent Art Collection
Art That Unites features 27 artworks from the Vatican Museums' Collection of Modern and Contemporary Art together with 29 objects from the Thrivent Art Collection. This special exhibition is a rare opportunity to admire 20th century works on paper from the Vatican alongside masterpieces from the past that were their sources of inspiration. "The dialogue between older historical works from the Thrivent Art Collection and contemporary pieces from the Vatican Museums is an excellent chance to understand how sacred subjects are a fundamental model for following the history of their survival, continuation and innovation through the centuries," said Micol Forti, Curator of the Collection of Modern and Contemporary Art of the Vatican Museums.
Art That Unites is set-out in eight sections: The Creation of the World, The Old Testament, Madonna and Child, the Life of Jesus (including the Baptism and Passion of Christ), Peace and Angels, The Apocalypse, The City, and Prayer.
This exhibition not only showcases exceptional art but is also a testament to the power of collaboration, shared values and the relationship between two institutions committed to supporting the arts, culture and community.
